| Comments: |
The boulders past the lean-to were too wet to safely scramble up. Forced to turn around.
After turning back I briefly visited Chandler Gorge Trail which was a nice sight as the water is running fast.
Then I tried to see how far I could get on Slippery Brook. I made it up .3 miles into the Baldface Knob Trail before wet boulders forced me to turn around. There was some snow higher up but nothing significant.
Note: I power hiked the climbs and ran the descents. |
